One of the popular ways to fight dog arthritis is with orthopedic dog beds. An orthopedic dog bed can reduce the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis in dogs quickly and without a hefty price tag. An orthopedic bed is the #1 dog arthritis treatment, and is also the safest treatment known today.

For dogs with arthritis or hip dysplasia it has been shown that orthopedic beds actually allow them to wake up feeling more comfortable and with less pain than if they sleep on a regular bed or no bed at all. These amazing discoveries have lead to a variety of different orthopedic dog beds being introduced to the market.

Because there are so many options to choose from today, it’s important to make sure of a few things before deciding to buy an orthopedic dog bed. Some things to look for in a dog bed to reduce the pain of dog arthritis or hip dysplasia:

Memory Foam & Support Foam

A good orthopedic dog bed is made with two types of foam, a hard support foam and a soft memory foam. The support foam is there to support the weight of your dogs entire body so that he or she does not have a lop-sided sleeping area, and the soft memory foam is there to form around the shape of your dogs body and provide a great deal of comfort. As the memory foam forms around your dogs body it removes excess pressure from the joints and ligaments which will reduce the pain of hip dysplasia or arthritis for your dog.

Water Proof Liner

The last thing you want is to come home and find a nasty mess on your pet’s new bed… What’s even worse is finding out that the bed doesn’t have a water proof liner and the mess has now soaked into the orthopedic foam that your dog loves to sleep on. Some dog beds don’t come with a liner that protects the foam from liquids and other messes, always make sure the dog bed you choose has a waterproof component to it so that you don’t have to throw it out every time there is a mess or something gets spilled on it.

Easy To Clean Cover

Another important factor when it comes to choosing a good orthopedic dog bed is how easy it is to keep clean. Even if the bed has a waterproof liner, it will still need to be cleaned from time to time. Many dog beds are near impossible to keep clean because you cannot remove the outer coverings for easy washing. Make sure that the bed you choose has an easy to remove outer shell that you can throw in the wash. This will make it much easier to keep clean and will save you money buying a new bed every few months because the old one got too dirty and smelly.

Rubber Underside

Some dog beds do not have any grip on the underside, so they slide around the floor and don’t stay where you put them. A good thing to look for when you’re buying a dog bed is a rubber or gripped underside. This will ensure the bed doesn’t get moved around to places it doesn’t belong.

Enough Space

And an obvious thing to watch for is how big the bed is. It might seem like common sense, but you want to make sure that the bed you choose is large enough that your dog can fit on it and stretch out without hanging off the edges or sitting only half way on the bed. If they are only half on the bed, only half of their body will be receiving the orthopedic and pain killing effects!

The Hefty Price-tag

A lot of orthopedic dog beds come with a pretty large price tag attached to them. Keep an eye on how much the beds you are looking at will cost you. Chances are that the bed you are considering is quite pricey. It’s not uncommon for orthopedic dog beds to cost several hundred dollars, so make sure that the bed you choose has everything your dog needs so that you are not disappointed with your purchase.
